bearings... Can't tell you how many times I've resurrected them.. Skated a 62 mile race in Central park,(inline skating) start to finish in the rain with oiled bearings one side open on each bearing. Basically water lubricated the bearings after a few miles. Race over, skates dried off and put in a bag. 4 days later, back home in california, every wheel (10) frozen solid. Soaked them in W-D 40, then after a day, used my lathe, and spun them in a wheel one by one till they broke free. Then I soaked them again after cleaning them till no more orange came out. Used those bearings for up to 100 miles a week for a year to train in and they actually worked ok. You could hear me coming from a mile away though. :). BAck in the day "fafnirs" were the best bearings..... Like pre 1980.

Mustie, on the 318, the altenator puts out 28 - 30 volts AC. It goes into the rectifier/regulator, and comes out as around 13.8 volts DC. The yellow charge light measures voltage, not amps. It comes on whrn battety voltage is less than 12.7 vdc Note: Mine had a worn wire, behind the front pulley, where it leads to the starter. This bled voltage off, which caused constant charging, and boiling the battery. The cost of reg/rectifier is $90 from deere, but can be bought, new for around $20, aftermarket. Mine was the exact same Mallory, as the deere was. An oversize snow blower sprocket is available, to make auger turn faster........

Ah, the good o'l days when they used to put greaseable, replaceable bearings on the pulleys.

Nothing greaseable on that thing but the steering spindles.

The way I remember it when you picked it up, the valve stem was on the inside. I remember you had to turn the wheel to add air???? Maybe Im on crack.

I get so much joy watching you figure out and repair stuff. And that feeling when you first get stuff running and then drive the stuff. I cant help but laugh out loud in excitement! I can tell from comments I'm not the only one. Thanks Mustie for always brightening up our days! PS: thanks for the nature clips too!

I wish I lived in a area they just give mowers like that away. Here they would put it on FB for 150.00 and say I think it needs carb work or something. lol

Yes, the same here. I seen a 20 year old lawn tractor with a blown engine on Craigslist and they want $100.00 dollars for it. I guess it is because people watch the American Pickers TV show and think everything is worth a lot of money.
